Chapter 327: German Scouts
Cavalry regiments, how can they be armed with heavy machine guns?
Of course, this is very normal, if you watch the movies of the time, you will see that when the cavalry unit charges, there will be other equipment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For example, two horses, pulling a carriage, and on top of the carriage, a heavy machine gun! Yes, this is the equipment, horse-drawn machine guns!
Galloping and firing at the same time, it's almost like a moving fortress!
Cavalry, of course, must also keep up with the times!
And now, by order of the commander of the cavalry regiment, several heavy machine guns opened fire first, and then, with rifles in their hands, the cavalrymen also began to aim and shoot in this direction!
The bullet roared, and at this moment, Locke, the rider of the motorcycle, jerked the handlebar.
I saw that the sidecar on one side was about to be warped, and the motorcycle completed a sharp turn with incredible speed, and then it was ready to retreat.
Motorcycles are only used for reconnaissance, not for combat, and now, the bullets fired from the opposite side are enough to show that it is a regiment-level unit, and these motorcycles want to kill each other, which is absolutely impractical.
Therefore, they want to retreat, which is the most correct choice for them.
At the same time, Glitter, who was on the side, also grabbed the handle with dexterity, as if this kind of action they had often made before.
The sidecar of the motorcycle was pried up, and the bottom of the sidecar, which happened to be a baffle, blocked the bullets that came from it, but at this time, the rider Locke let out a scream.
A bullet pierced Locke's chest, and blood spurted radially from it, apparently piercing the major arteries!
With his last strength, Locke stabilized the motorcycle and released the throttle.
Glitter, from the sidecar, flipped out at once, holding the MG34 light machine gun in his hand.
"Snort", the sound of a high-speed spinning like a chainsaw, this light machine gun, also fired at this moment!
Now, the elite SS is still equipped with the MG34 light machine gun, and a large number of troops have begun to equip a simplified version of this machine gun, that is, the MG42 of later generations, no matter what kind of machine gun it is, it is the most successful machine gun of this era!
Compared with the two machine guns, the production process was only simplified, and under the leadership of Dr. Grunov, the traditional process was replaced by the stamping process, and a new machine gun was created.
The traditional firearms manufacturing process is to use a solid metal lathe, milling machine and other processing to cut off unnecessary parts, and the metal utilization rate is only about 25%, which is a waste of materials and a lot of man-hours.
The MG42, which is produced using the metal stamping process, not only saves material and man-hours, but is also more compact. This is very practical for Germany, which lacks metal resources.
The high rate of fire of this machine gun makes it sound different from that of a da-da-da, if it is more vivid, the sound of tearing a large sheet of linen.
The MG34 machine gun, with a high rate of fire, can shoot five or six rounds even with a single pull of the trigger!
Now, Glitter's aim was quite accurate, and at this moment, the Polish soldier operating the heavy machine gun on the opposite side shook backwards and fell, and there were five or six holes in his body!
If you are shot, you will be shot several times in a split second!
Glitter's short shot succeeded in taking out one of the Heavys on the other side, and then he quickly shifted to take out the second Heavy!
He did this, of course, to cover the few motorcycles behind him, and the motorcyclists were all turning fast to get out of here.
At the same time, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles in the back also stopped.
"Boom!" 37-mm shells, flying out of the small turret! The warriors of the well-trained Skeleton Division, in the moment of a brief encounter, set up a position.
The armor of the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is not thick, and it can also withstand the fire of ordinary 7.92 mm machine gun bullets, and they have made a flexible response in a short time!
Block the opponent first, cover the retreat of their motorcycles, and then, they retreat as they go, so that they can calmly get out of the battle!
The shelling on this side was quite powerful, and one of the opponent's machine guns was taken out in one fell swoop!
Damn, you can't even kill a scout team! Here, the commander of the cavalry regiment was furious.
"3 companies, attack, destroy these Germans!" The commander of the cavalry regiment shouted loudly.
Sortie!
Alex, the commander of the 3rd Company, jumped on his horse and drew his saber: "3rd Company, follow me!" ā
Every branch of the armed forces has the most handsome moment, the moment when the armored soldier starts the tank, half-exposed outside, and the pilot completes the task and steps off the plane...
And for the cavalry, when they stepped on their horses and began to charge, it was their most handsome moment!
The soldiers who were still lying on the ground just now immediately got up one after another, they found their war horses and turned over!
The horses neighed, as if they knew something, and were in a state of excitement!
Not all soldiers wielded shiny sabers, they certainly knew that in front of armored vehicles, sabers were nothing at all.
More people, holding Molotov cocktails in their hands!
In the Spanish Civil War, Molotov cocktails were commonly used by international columns against German tanks! This kind of thing, simple to make, works pretty well! And the cavalry uses, it is even more convenient, if the infantry bombardier, can throw a distance of thirty meters, then, the cavalry can throw sixty meters, eighty meters!
After all, the cavalry charged, and the speed was fast!
This reconnaissance unit of the Germans could not be allowed to run away, and if even these people were let go, then what was the face of the Polish army?
Amid the neighing of the horses, a famous cavalryman, riding vigorously on his horses, bent over the back of the horse, charged quickly!
Gretel lay on the side of his motorcycle, using the motorcycle as a cover, and took advantage of the gap when the opponent stopped shooting, and took out a new fifty-round bullet chain from the sidecar.
In the face of the cavalry rushing out of the Poles, Glitter was not afraid at all, he pulled the trigger and continued to shoot!
Cavalry, if you want to charge, you must first ask your machine gun if you agree!
At the same time, on the wheeled reconnaissance vehicle in the back, it was also found that the situation was not good, 37-mm guns, which continued to fire quickly and violently!
The retreating motorcycles also stopped, using their machine guns to strafe the Polish cavalry that rushed over.
Cavalry, this backward branch of the army, it is time to withdraw from the stage of history! Those war horses, go to the logistics camel equipment! As for the cavalry, let's be an infantryman!
In front of machine guns, you are nothing!
